Why don't people know how to effectively communicate anymore?

I think interacting with computers and particularly those applications that make it easy for us to signal our requests without using human communication is to the detriment of human communication.

@GlassDog I think so. I feel like we're not creating healthy relationships.

@xTutu7x Completely agree. It's become rare that I have deep, honest, personal, revelatory conversations with people and it's not through any hesitancy from my side.

Same here, but I feel like some of it is my fault. I stopped communicating when I was addicted to sites like this and now that I don't use them as often, I see where I erred and now I'm trying to build relationships with people outside of my phone. Things just aren't the same.

@xTutu7x That's interesting. It's different for me because I think my body language is confusing and I only make sense to people in the written word.

Do you think you'll be successful?

xTutu7x · F

@GlassDog Not as successful as I used to be, but then again communication is a two way street and many aren't willing to do their part.

@xTutu7x Yeah, hence this post, I suppose.
